Which expression is equivalent to 1.5(x + 3) + 3.8(7x –2)? Be sure to show all

steps of simplifying after picking an answer choice.

4.5x – 8.8

12.3x + 1

28.1x – 3.1

28.1x + 1

explain why also!

28.1x – 3.1

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5(x + 3) + 3.8(7x –2)

Open the parenthesis

= 1.5x + 4.5 + 26.6x - 7.6

Simplify

= 28.1x - 3.1

Therefore, the equivalent expression to 1.5(x + 3) + 3.8(7x –2 is 28.1x - 3.1

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300

because they could drop even lower..
